Re: Mirena and class action lawsuit
I lasted 1 year exactly on Mirena, but it was one year too long. Almost immediately, I started to regain the 18 pounds that I had lost after I had my baby, I developed cyst-like acne all over my face. When one would go away, another would pop up. Although I had occasional acne as a teen, Orthoricyclene had my face completely cleared up. The doc assurred me that Mirena was the best thing to do in my case as I didn't want any more children, but it wasn't permanent ether. There were several other symptoms that I now blame on Mirena-I had noticed them, but didn't put it together that it was the IUD. Tingling in my hands (thought I was developing carpaltannol(sp?), unable to sleep-I'd lay for hours listening to my husband sleep while my mind raced, and just lately, hot flashes at night to where I thought I had a fever and it was breaking. I am 32, not even near menopause!! My periods were almost non-existant on Mirena, which I loved, but hey-I'd rather have periods than be a fat, pimply, sleep-deprived, moody woman!! I am now 10lbs over where I was when I started Mirena-even though I was working out 3-4 times a week vigorously. Mirena made my appetite HUGE. And I ate alot before I had Mirena put in, but it was OUT OF CONTROL. Never before did I crave sweets and chocolate as much as I did this past year-and i did not have the willpower to resist. Finally, last night as I was looking in the mirror at my face-which had 3 large cyst like acne mounds on it, and my bulging bloated belly, I decided that was it, that it was coming out then and there. I just pulled really slowly, and after a slight twinge, it slid right out! Instant relief, let me tell you. And, funny enough, this morning I already feel less puffy, and the cystic acne mounds on my face are starting to dry up. JUST AFTER ONE DAY! Do not wait, pull that piece of [bad stuff (censored)] out of you and start getting relief from all of the symptoms that you know it is causing!!
